CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Indonesia Is An CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Indonesia is an archipelagic country with abundant natural resources ranging from marine and fishery sectors, agriculture, livestock, forestry, plantation and mining and energy. Among all the available natural wealth, the most promising wealth to be managed is in the mining sector because the value of selling products taken from within the earth is valuable enough to absorb so much labor and other support sectors. Some areas in Indonesia have the potential to be used as mining, such as coal mining, oil and natural gas mining, gold mining, stone mining, asphalt mining, sand mining and other mineral mining. Figure 1.1 Distribution of Natural Resources in Indonesia Source: https://www.bappenas.go.id 1 Mining technology and equipment in Indonesia are growing rapidly from year to year, causing mining activities to become larger. This shows that the wider and deeper layers of the earth must be excavated. Mining activities also require extensive land, so sustainable excavation should be carried out for widening the area. Not only is the mining area expanded, but the area around the mine also requires expansion such as for transportation access and other facilities. Therefore, in addition to being a source of prosperity, mining can also lead to potential environmental damage due to excessive excavation. According to Mining Advocacy Network in 2014 around 70% environmental damage in Indonesia caused by the mining activity. Around 3,97 million hectares protected areas threatened to be used for mining areas including biodiversity in it. Besides that, the watershed also having damaged and getting increased in last 10 years. Around 4000 watershed that exist in Indonesia and 108 of them suffered damage. The high growth of industry in Indonesia gives a positive contribution to the state economy in the form of taxes, royalties and other levies. Tax revenues in the State Budget (APBN) have increased 79% per year from total state revenues (https://www.kemenkeu.go.id accessed on 05 Feb 2018). The impact is that natural resources will experience an increase in exploitation. In addition, the regional autonomy system that is oriented towards increasing local revenue (PAD) will result in local governments being relatively easy in granting mining permits for increasing PAD. Local governments should increase PAD in order to be able to finance their own local needs so that 2 dependence on the central government is reduced. This doesn’t only cause the welfare of the State's economy, but it will have a bad impact because of excessive exploitation of natural resources and even the environment around the utilization of natural resources becomes damaged and polluted. In the mining industry, considerable sacrifices often don’t include the cost of environmental damage. Some of the negative impacts caused by mining that caused the destruction of plantation and agricultural land, and the opening of forest areas. In the long term, mining is the greatest critical land that is hard to return to its original function, and pollutes the land, water and air. Other pollution can be dust, toxic gas, sounds, damage to ponds and coral reefs on the coast causing reduced and partial loss of biodiversity to disrupt the livelihood of fishermen. Toxic acid mine water if flowed into the river then ends up to the sea will damage the ecosystem and coastal and marine resources and cause various diseases and disrupt health. In addition, facilities and infrastructure such as roads can also be severely damaged when transporting minerals (Noviana, 2011). One of the most important mineral mining is the mining of iron-making basic materials, such as iron sand and iron ore. The existence of iron sand in Indonesia is quite abundant. In 2015 iron sand reserves in Indonesia are around 4,781,539,331,62 billion tones. This reserve is spread in several provinces including West Java Province about 1,302,000 million tons (http://psdg.bgl.esdm.go.id accessed on 17 October 2017). This potential still needs to be proven so that the available reserves are clearly measured. 3 Generally, all iron sand mining sites in Indonesia are openly exploited and located in coastal areas (Miswanto et al.2008). West Java is a province with a considerable iron sand reserve in Indonesia, with proven reserves of up to 1,302,000 million tons spread over several districts. This potential will certainly attract many investors to exploit iron sand which will be very beneficial to increase local revenue (http://jabarprov.go.id accessed on 05 Feb 2018). Negative impact which felt by the public is the increasing of road damage due to the transportation of mining products through public road. In just five years from 2007 to 2011, the ecological damage caused by iron sand mining is estimated to reach Rp35.74 billion or with a total production of approximately 1.35 million tons of iron sand (https://daerah.sindonews.com accessed on 15 March 2018). Road damage is a serious problem faced by almost all countries in the world. This road damage is caused by many factors, one of which is caused by the load of vehicles passing overcapacity. Road capability for the heaviest (axle load) MST 8 tons and MST 10 tons, traversed by vehicle with MST up to 20 tons. In 2010, the biggest road damage in Indosesia is on the district / city road. The total length of road 288,185 km, about 31.14% of roads slightly damaged, good condition is only 22.46% and the rest is quite heavy. Provincial roads with a total length of 48,681 km are in good condition only about 5.85%, while from 39,310 km national roads are 13.34% in lightly damaged condition and 49.67% are in good condition and the rest are severely damaged (www.poskota.co.id accessed on 17 October 2017). This includes 4 strategic roads such as the East Sumatera Highway and the North Coast of Java. It is estimated that the social and economic costs incurred by road users are around 200 trillion rupiah per year, very large when compared with the government's investment of 3-6 trillion rupiah per year (Widjonarko 2007). Coastal areas are areas of economic development that can experience degradation and decreased productivity. Degradation can be caused by coastal abrasion, pollution and destruction of coastal forests. This abrasion is in addition triggered by sea level rise also due to sand mining in coastal areas. Indonesia with 17,508 islands with 95,000 km of coastline and 20% of coastline in Indonesia is damaged by abrasion that increases every year (www.pu.go.id accessed in 17 October 2017). Among the many activities that result in coastal degradation are the mining of minerals C (coastal sand), illegal logging of coastal forests, wave pressure at high tide resulting in coastal abrasion (Sumartin 2011). One of the areas that have potential is the south coast of Tasikmalaya, especially from Cipatujah Coast until Cikalong Coast. In one of Tasikmalaya daily newspapers mentioned that South Tasikmalaya areas known for the wealth of mineral resources. From all kinds of minerals in Tasikmalaya District, the largest is the content of iron sands along the coast of South Tasikmalaya. Geographically and administratively, there are three sub-districts in Tasela which has a beach among others, District Cipatujah, Karangnunggal and District Cikalong. Iron sand resources in Java Island are found on the southern coast. West Java has 35,612,966.9 tons of iron sand resources 5 consisting of 28,297,032,29ton (Fe) and 7,315,934.61 (titan) (Rosana et al, 2013). The resources are spread in Ciamis Regency, Tasikmalaya Regency, and Cianjur Regency, Sukabumi Regency and Subang Regency. Tasikmalaya regency is one of the districts targeted by iron sand mining businessmen. The amount of iron sand resource potential in Tasikmalaya Regency is quite large, which is about 3,659,390 tons spread in three subdistricts namely Cikalong Subdistrict, Cipatujah Subdistrict and Karangnunggal Subdistrict. Iron sand mining in Tasikmalaya Regency began in 2004 starting with the exploration stage which until now generally has been done. Iron sand mining in Tasikmalaya regency is done openly by digging the soil surface, taking the minerals and left open. Sites considered having the potential of iron sands continue to be dug and carried out mining regardless of land cover. Rice fields and plantation land for the livelihood of the residents were mined without regard to reclamation. The existence of iron sands makes many companies interested to develop those iron sands but in the middle of its existence is actually becoming controversy in the community, is about the impact on the surrounding environment. The impact of sand mining has positive impacts and negative impacts on the environment, the positive impacts is can increase the income of local communities and creating jobs, while the negative impact is increased air pollution, and damage to roads and river. The actors that involved in this project are the government as the licensor of this project, the companies as the implementer of this project, and society as the people who lived in the area of 6 sand mining project and will get the direct impact of the project. The three actors that are involved in this sand mining project should give their effort to manage the environment, especially the companies as the implementer. The companies should know about the legal aspect of environmental pollution that caused by sand mining project. The former mine land will certainly experience significant land degradation and environmental impacts after exploitation such as changing the landscape both topography and life above it. Cikalong sub-district is one of the sub-districts in Tasikmalaya Regency that suffered land damage after iron sand mining.

  • Port of Patimban As a Solution to Fulfill the Capacity Demand of Port Terminal in Indonesia
    International Journal of Innovations in Engineering and Technology (IJIET) http://dx.doi.org/10.21172/ijiet.82.044 Port of Patimban as A Solution to Fulfill the Capacity Demand of Port Terminal in Indonesia Johny Malisan Center for Research and Development on Sea Transportation – Indonesia Abstract - Seaport as a part of transport chain and logistic system has a very important role and strategic for economic growth and development. Besides, it seemed sensible to exploit the synergies between ports and must be linked to their hinterland. To stimulate economic activity and realize an efficient logistic cost, the government's effort to create a healthy business climate and competitiveness through the development of a new port is one solution. This research aimed to analyze the port infrastructure that will be developed and to analyze port capacity that is still limited and should be developed in order to address the main issues that emerged at the port, i.e. congestion and dwell time. The results showed that although existing port has been developed, it seems quite difficult to handle high volume of container traffic in the future, which until 2050 predicted will reach average more than 20 millions TEUs per year. Synergy with port of Patimban is one way to fulfill capacity demand of port terminal. Indonesia has not yet emerged as a logistics hub and the most important factor is poor condition of port infrastructure. Therefore, it is required to change the pattern of container handling by pursuing the development of new port in order to avoid stagnation, congestion and dwelling time.

  • Remote Sensing Analysis in RUSLE Erosion Estimation
    Indonesian Journal of Geospatial Vol. 4 No.1, 2015, Hal 34-45 34 Remote Sensing Analysis In RUSLE Erosion Estimation 1,3Saptari, A.Y., 2Supriadi A., 1,4Wikantika K., 1,4Darmawan S. 1Geodesy and Geomatic Department of Earth Science Faculty – ITB, Indonesia – (aysaptari, ketut)@gd.itb.ac.id) 2School of Life Science And Technology – ITB ; 3Surveying and Cadaster Research Group - ITB 4Center of Remote Sensing – ITB ABTRACT. Soil erosion is a major issue in various hemispheres. It is because erosion affects the survival of ecosystem. Diverse human actions, e.g., bushes burning and illegal logging, play a role in accelerating erosion. Climate factor such as rain intensity has also an influence in the release of soil particles. Therefore, a regular identification of those factors that affect erosion processes is highly needed in order to keep an environmental sustainable. Different areas in Indonesia have different erosion variable characteristics. One of the characteristics is indicated by the varieties of vegetation cover, where a loose vegetation cover causes soil surfaces open for a long time period. Till now, researches dealing with the modeling of erosions with wide area coverage are few, since erosion observations have always been conducted by direct observations in the field, hence time consuming. Therefore, an erosion mapping model that is applied in a wide coverage area and the up to date of data is needed. Spatially, erosions can be depicted in a form of spatial information system model describing their potential class levels. There are several erosion models that can be used to find out the erosion occurring on a land, among others Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model or its modification Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE).

The dynamic of 3-parties conflict of interests (investor, local people and government) in having actual income from the nature tourism park business in Indonesia became worse since a “very progressive” Government Regulation on Forestry Related Services Tariff (so called PP 12/2014) was issued. On one hand, everybody agrees to improve the 17 years old tariff regulation of PP 59/1998. On the other hand, the “unclear reason” of the new tariffs in PP 12/2014 has shocked many parties and created many difficulties while implemented. This paper studies visitors’ expenditures and their willingness to pay (WTP) for every recreation services scenario by using contingent valuation method (CVM) survey with open-ended eliciting questionnaire instrument. Regarding the characteristic of Gunung Pancar Forest Tourism Park (GPFTP) the method was used to justify a reasonable and eligible ticket pricing strategy at the GPFTP as a quasi-public recreation park.
